CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- The University of Northern Iowa's Center for Holocaust and Genocide Education (CHGE) will host several events in honor of the Days of Remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust Wednesday, April 23, through Tuesday, April 29.

Beatrice Muchman, Holocaust survivor and author of "Never to Be Forgotten: A Young Girl's Holocaust Memoir," will present the sixth annual Norman Cohn Family Holocaust Remembrance and Education Lecture at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 23, in Sabin Hall, Room 002. Muchman's illustrated talk "Individual Responsibility … Then and Now" will recount her family's fate during the Holocaust - in particular, her years as a "hidden child" - and her path to reclaiming her religious identity. A question and answer session, book signing and reception will follow the lecture.

The acclaimed documentary "Nicky's Family" will be screened at no charge to school groups at 10 a.m., Monday, April 28, in the Great Hall of the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center.
